Workbench_Warrior's Workshop

Joe, this is a pretty nice looking shop space. It does look like you have managed to utilize most of the available space but you have organized your shop well. I like the overhead wood storage that you have incorporated into your shop. This is essentially dead space and making use of it for storage is a good idea. It looks like you have a nice tool collection to work with as well. It appears as if you could use some more wood storage, but then most of us do. :)

I can put about 300 bf of lumber in my lumber rack and then the rest is stored in much the same manner as yours. I have stacked it on my miter saw bench, under the assembly table, on my table saw- essentially wherever I can find an open spot that is not being used at the moment.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed touring your shop.

Thanks for visiting Scott! Yes right now there is still a lot of remolding lumber hanging around even though I just got rid of a bunch of 2×4’s. I do have some more storage in the utility room ceiling and wall racks. But who can afford project wood these days anyway?

Joe you have a great looking shop and very well organized . I’m sure it’s a joy to work out of . Is that a double bench or just over sized . What’s the width of it ?

I have to say out of all the different pictures on LJ , shop pics are my very favorite kind .

Hey Joe
Nice shop well organised and a good lay out. Well done

Thanks Jerry! It measures 55 by 40, its actually two benches screwed together. I bought one at $99.00 which I thought was a great deal (marked down from $179) but then they marked them down to get rid of them to $60 so I bought two more and put them back to back. They each come with two vises but I took a few off cause I kept whacking my hip on them, but they only take a few minutes to put back on if I should need them. Actually there are more pics on the blog section before I discovered the workshop page!

Thanks Jim! It still needs some work and cleaning up but its getting there.
